Today Is Very Boring

Today Is Very Boring

Today is very boring,

it's a very boring day,

there is nothing much to look at,

there is nothing much to say,

there's a peacock on my sneakers,

there's a penguin on my head,

there's a dormouse on my doorstep,

I am going back to bed.

Today is very boring,

it is boring through and through,

there is absolutely nothing

that I think I want to do,

I see giants riding rhinos,
and an ogre with a sword,

there's a dragon blowing smoke rings,

I am positively bored.

Today is very boring,

 I can hardly help but yawn,

there's a flying saucer landing

in the middle of my lawn,

a volcano just erupted

less than half a mile away,

and I think I felt an earthquake,

it's a very boring day.

-Jack Prelutskey, The New Kid on the Block

The air conditioning busted and I couldn't stand it so we went to Mom and Dad's....what would we do without them?

It's fun at Grandma's house but not quite as fun when it is so HOT and we can't be outside.

I felt like we were a little bored. I read the girls this poem and then we added a few lines of our own.

"Today is very boring,

there is a unicorn in the bathtub."

"Today is very boring,

there is a dinosaur on the trampoline."

"Today is very boring,

my hair just turned rainbow colors."

"Today is very boring,

I saw a spider as big as a tractor."

We had a good laugh. We weren't so bored anymore.
